This is a pre owned, open box puzzle. It was given to me by a friend who knew I liked to make puzzles. I have my limits and a 6000 piece puzzle is just too intense of a challenge. I am struggling with a 1000 piece puzzle right now. So if you are a puzzle masochist this could be the right item for you. I was told that all the pieces were there, but I could and would not verify it.  A notation on the inside of the box indicates that in actuallity there are really only 5,900 and something pieces to the puzzle, not the 6K that they print on the box. If you are being convicted of a crime and plan on doing a long time sentence, you might want to bring this along....LOL! Ask any questions prior to purchase. I ship out items within 2 days of purchase and I place feedback into an Ebay buyer's profile once the item has been delivered and the buyer is satisfied with the transaction. Thanks for looking.
